Marketing and Sponsorship

Survey Reveals P&G Was Olympics' Most Effective Sponsor

A poll of sponsorship industry professionals undertaken by Sponsorship Today and Think!Sponsorship found that P&G was London 2012′s most effective sponsor. Nearly 40% of respondents to the online poll named P&G as the most-successful Olympic Top Partner compared to nearest rival Coca-Cola with 17%. Among national LOCOG sponsors, adidas scored highest with 32.5% followed by BMW and LloydsTSB, both on 23.5%. The poll considered Nike to be the most-successful ambush marketer of the Games with 29% recalling its "Find Your Greatness" campaign, significantly beating Paddy Power (9%) and Virgin and Dr. Dre, both with 3%. Controversial results from the survey included the fact that 50.7% of respondents felt that the Games should have had an alcohol partner (at present this is restricted to tier three local sponsorships), and 40.6% said that there should have been no fast food sponsor -- a significant number given that the respondents represent the sponsorship industry (IMR Publications).
